I tried using the beanclass attribute of the <stripes:useActionBean> tag,
but it did not solve my problem.
Clearly all the input tags are picking up as their defaults the most recent
value set in the {actionBean} i.e. the most recently-set value, whichever
bean was used. That is not what I need. I need the page to retain all the
properties of two distinct action beans. Calling one form changes the
properties of its own action bean, but the properties of the other action
bean must be separately retained for later use. The properties of the
second bean must not change even if the first bean is changed several times.
The comment about an input tag picking up their values from the Action Bean
to which it is linked is actually "cart before the horse" as far as my
problem is concerned. What I have so far failed to do is control which
Action Bean is linked to which input tag, given that the default setting is
not what I need.
